UNCHARTED 3 at gamescom: Airstrip Sequence Revealed

If you were one of the hundreds of thousand of fans that tuned into our E3 2011 PlayStation press conference, you may have caught Naughty Dog’s Community Strategist Arne Meyer give viewers a full demo of UNCHARTED 3’s cruise ship sequence, a tense scenario that married technical prowess and high action as Drake struggled to escape the doomed vessel.

Today, Naughty Dog has returned with another epic reveal. Arne and I discuss the challenges behind keeping UNCHARTED 3 as spoiler-free as possible, and how specific sequences are deliberately designed to reveal new game mechanics, story and characters at specific milestones in the game’s development process.

Sorry arne, but you are definitely not a “Community” Strategist…otherwise you would have said a word about the promised cash event and lab change in Uncharetd 2 but you didn’t! This is just a bad fail. Give us our cash event (it should have taken place 3 months ago) and everyone is happy!

Do you feel (or believe) you have outdone yourself with this game? Would you, sincerely, say Uncharted 3 surpasses Uncharted 2?

If your answer is yes (which I bet it is, duh) tell us why? from a technical standpoint, game design standpoint, storytelling standpoint.

and, what would make this game worthy of as many or more awards than Uncharted 2’s got? How are you breaking new ground with this game compared to what Uncharted 2 did? Which things are better or work better this time around?

What “new” remarkable ingredients have you added to your formula (for those reading this, Uncharted 2 introduced traversal gameplay in a way that wasn’t done in a videogame before, big moving structures like the train, crumbling buildings, etc…and that’s just some of the numerous things in that game) In that respect, what would say it’s the most important key element for Uncharted 3?

Great game!
I seriously can’t wait to get my hands on both the Campain and the Multiplayer (Especially the MP, the Beta rocked!).

By the way Arne, please be more active on Twitter, forums and throughout the community sites. Look at Insomniac devs, they answer almost every single comment about a question or issue they get. PLEASE Arne, respond to us, the fanbase! You’re a community startegist, your job is to interact with us!

I still wear the uncharted 2 t shirt religiously that they gave me for the private viewing 2 years ago .Took my fiance there and she was blown away .uncharted 2 on the big screen . hope they have something like that again. 11 1 11 uncharted 3 is going to be freakin amazing – 11 11 11 finally getting married .

Why yoy always make avaible more and better bundles to japan and europe and give no love to the american market? I think that you’re not exploiting the potential that would have first party bundles featuring different skins/paint jobs like xbox is doing with gears of war 3 and MW3 It really lets me down when I see the company I support to treat our region differently and offering us less content, goodies and products than the european and japanese market.
